PageAsyncTask.BeginHandler Property

Definition

Gets the method to call when beginning an asynchronous task.

C#
public System.Web.BeginEventHandler BeginHandler { get; }

Property Value

A BeginEventHandler delegate that represents the method to call when beginning the asynchronous task.

Examples

The following code example registers three asynchronous tasks to a page and executes them in parallel. Each task calls a method that merely causes the thread to sleep for 5 seconds. A BeginHandler delegate is specified for each task.
